What a disappointment. The value of OSS should be obvious to all by now. We have too many people in power who don't know anything about the technology they regulate.
@some_guy Or they know very well, but can't get a cut from it.
Interesting take. I don't know much about how grift works in the EU. Is there corporate lobbying similar to the USA?
You know corruption is there somehow. Revolving doors, friends of friends, that kinda stuff is unavoidable. We can try to limit the effects, but it will never totally go away.
